The Weekend Playlist: 10/04/18

So, here’s some last-minute, very breaking, very sad news: We learned only a couple hours ago that The Cellar Door will be unable to host music for The Thing on Saturday. Scheduled for The Cellar Door was our jazz slate (always some of the best stuff you’ll find all day), and that was going to feature Darryl Brenzel and Jeff Cosgrove, the latter of whom you can find with his trio above in a previous “Frederick One Take.” Sadly, because of the late notice, we are unable to find a replacement venue, so for the first time in its long three-year history, The Thing will not have a jazz music venue. Still, the show must go on (rain or shine; gray or blue), and despite the very honest sadness that comes along with losing a venue, we still have six other venues that will host music on Saturday and you can find all the artists and all the set times in our post earlier today. It promises to be an awfully fun day filled with some of the best music this fine city has to offer, and if you miss it, you’ll be missing out. Outside of The Thing, you’ll have Chris Smaha tonight, you’ll have Marzy Maddox Friday night (before they hit the Eagles stage for The Thing on Saturday), you’ll have some open mics, you’ll have Stephanie Quayle, you’ll have Rain, you’ll have NoXit, and you’ll have Ginada Pinata, who will be funk-rocking Cafe Nola Saturday night after The Thing concludes. If, God willing, there will be a Thing 4, we’ll need to see you on Saturday. So … see you Saturday, right? … Right?!
